Normal recording (Record):
When your VCR is recording, it actually records the audio portion of
a program twice: once on the stereo Hi-Fi tracks, and once on the
mono track. Additionally, your VCR can receive Separate Audio
Program (SAP) broadcasts. A SAP broadcast is an alternative
soundtrack for a program; it is often a sound track in another
language. The SAP broadcast is recorded only on the mono track.
Use the normal recording function to record the SAP broadcast on
the mono track by choosing Stereo+SAP. Otherwise, choose
Stereo. In either case, the main program is recorded on the stereo
Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no SAP broadcast, the VCR will record
the main program on the mono track.
